<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheRed, post: 3940554, member: 87080&quot;]I opened my Secret Saturnalia gift this morning before trudging to work, and I was blown away by the generosity of [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER] .&nbsp; Inside was a very nice letter explaining the theme of the gift and three awesome coins!&nbsp; Thank you for such awesome coins!&nbsp; The largest is a 2 Reales struck in the name of Charles III of Spain.&nbsp; What makes this coin so cool is that it was literally sunken treasure.&nbsp; It came from the wreck of the Spanish brig El Cazador, which sunk off of the coast of Louisiana with 37,500 pounds of silver coins in 1784.&nbsp; It was recovered by a friend of his in 300 feet of water. The English coin is a class 5b penny of Henry III struck at Canterbury in the name of Gilbert, a moneyer I didn&#039;t have in my collection.&nbsp; One of my collecting goals is to get as many moneyers as I can for the short and long cross pennies, and to get one unlocked for is a wonderful surprise.&nbsp; Lastly is a cut farthing that is going to be a joy to identify.&nbsp; Despite having dozens of cut half pennies, this is my first cut farthing.&nbsp; Thank you Theodosius for such wonderful coins!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1038731[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1038732[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
